[Gambas-user] Sdl Font

[T Lee Davidson]

As I understand that, Fabien, "Font!MyFont" would be alternate syntax to "Font["MyFont"]. I have tried both ways and still get
error, "Incorrect font size".

Another look at the code clued me in to how the font name should be specified, ie. with a font size: Font["MyFont,16"]


I have been testing with the SDL application that is created by the IDE via the "New project..." dialog.

To Main(), I added: Font.Load("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans.ttf")
And in differing locations within the Window_Draw() event, I added: Draw.Font = Font["DejaVuSans,16"]

The application now SegFaults.
